The Raleigh Correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch comments as
follows upon the late Legislature:
"People are talking a great deal
about the fix the miserable Legisla-
ture has left the State in. It is
plainly said that in two years there
will be deficit of $207 900 in the
general fund. This is caused by
the reduced tax-levy and the amount
of the appropriations. Of course
the deficit does not affect the inter-
est fund, so outsiders and holders of
bonds are not at all concerned about
it. It does affect the heads of all
the State institutions and the chiefs
of departments. The penitentiarY
is left in very crippled condition,
and the same is the case as to the
insane ssylum at Raleigh. The in>
crease of Its accommodations by the
construction of the two wings was
imperatively necessary, but the Leg
islature, with that wisdom which
passeth understanding, cut all away
and left the asylum with barely
enough funds to creep along on

Any county is now entitled to its
convicts to work its public roads
which will build stockades and pro-

A new act provides that when a party
to an action pending in court dies, the
clerk can make his executor, administra-
tor or heirs-at law, parties in vacation,
and allow amended or supplemental
pleadings to be filed so that the case
will stand regularly for trial at next
term, and if no death had occurred.
Lord Salisbury for his own part
is still bent upon coercion as the
only remedy for Irish evils; but
there is an indication of returning
intelligence on the part of both Mr..
Chamberlain and Sir George Treve-
lyan. Although the latter gentle>
men will probably support the
Government in its opposition to
Home Rule, they will not go to the
extent of voting in favor of meas4
ure of coercion. As they will also
be able to influence many Liberal
Unionists, there is every probabili-
ty of a Cabinet crisis.

The contractors for the dam for the
water works on Swannanoa have had
their troubles as well as the standpipe
men. The former have had their pre-
liminarY works twice washed away. We
are glad to know that ali difficulties are
surmounted, and that the dam and the
standpipe will both soon be ready to turn
over to the city authorities. And the
iron piping is all laid, embracing length
altogether of more than six miles.

of New England or from the frigid
blasts of the Northwest.
Major J. H. Rumbough has re-
turned to Hot Springs with his fam
lily. They have spent some time in
S. Carolina. The Major is sanguine
that the Atlantic, Greenville & Wes-

The Lenoir Topic gives list of the
hotel improvements going on in the
and we are very glad to note
them. The mountain resorts in all parts
of the West are attractive and popular,
and we are glad to see attention paid to
increase of accommodation and comfort
of guests. Among the items given by the
Topic is the building of q. commodious
hotel, by Mr.. Callahan, at the foot of the
Grandfather, the highest and noblest of
all the Blue Ridge; Capt. Walter I.enoir
is also building for rnblic accommoda-
ton q large house at the head of Linville
river. The captain is laying out town
there with the expectation that the
Baltimore & Ohio road will build its
birmingham existension through bis
property; at Blowing Rock ten cottages
have been built by the hotel company
and others to meet the growing patron
age of place so much resorted to for its
climate the elevation of its location, and
the grandeur ofiis scenery,
There are other noticeable projects for
improvement named by the Topic, but
they are not germane to the subject Of
summer resorts: and we omit them.

where It curves outward III a huge swell. it measures twenty -one feet; the diameter at the ends is eighteen feet. It contains 36,000 gallons of dry wine. To with stand the enormous pressure of this bulk, three iron rods are carried from end to end, where they are riveted in oakcn beams of great size and strength. The hoops are of iron. There are fourteen of them and they weigh three tons. Each hoop is six inches broad and about third of an inch in thickness. They are well grcomed hoops and shine as if in con stant contact with an emery wheel.
 But everything about the great tun be tokens the great care that is taken of 1t. Its oaken surface is polished to such I degree that the sun loves to creep lii through the prison like windows and dance upon its shining bulk. The huge brass spigot glitters like gold fresh from the coiner's hand.

A blow upon this iron ribbed body makes no impres- sion unless the ear he placed close to the wood; then the sound is like the last gasp of thunder clap. Days and days were occupied in filling it with catawba made from grapes that grow ol! islands in Put in Bay, where Commodore Perry taught John Bull q lesson some years ago. And when the tlm was full, when 3G, 900 gallons of wine had been poured into the vast interior, there was much rejoicing in the immediate vicinity, and all who witnessed the completion of the process felt in. duty bound-te drink to the health of the Toledo tun, and to do so in such unstinted measure that the occasion is likely ganvnr to lDe foruottnr, hy thnea who participated.

IN A FLORIDA SWAMP.

Overshadowed by Forest of Blossoms.
 Snakes in the Low Branches.
 Soon the forest closed in on both sides of the narrowing creek. The banks on either side were but three or four inches above water, and we could look far into the dark woods, over dead level covered with luxuriant vegetation-some fresh, some old. Ferns of many varieties some times blocked the view with their fronds. Now and then there were patches of soil in the deep shadow, where nothing grew except the white Atamasco lily. Scores of this starry flower lit up these somber places. The creek grew more narrow and winding. The trees met overhead, and we bent our heads low to pass under the branches, stretching up our hands oc- casionally to break off twigs loaded with blossoms. So on for I know pot how long distance, tlII the boat c0JrT11 FsU no farther, and we went ashore and loaded ourselves with flowers. A catalogue of them would be too long.
 Do you ever experience the delight which is caused by meeting familiar home flower among strange blossoms? Up here the air was filled with a fragrance which was easily traced to the small white bloom of our partridge berry, much more fragrant in Florida than in New England. Perhaps the most strik- ing feature of this spot is that, after you have emerged from the bottom land and ascended on the dry soil beside the swamp, you find yourself in small forest of the sparkle berry, tree which for beauty has hardly a rival. The blossoms which are small and white, hang by the million on slender stems. Looking up at them you are bewiIdered with their beauty and lavish abundance.
 Day is not long enough to satisfy one who once gets into the heart of q Florida swamp in April. There are countless plants in blossom, and many more whose strange and unknown foliage leads you to wonder what their blossom will be Among these the sunshine drops through openings i'll the trees with dazzling effects Great butterflies. fitting through the shadows, seem of strange and somber color, like huge night moths, and it is only when they cross one of the streaks of sunlight that you recognize your old friends, Turnus or Cresphontes or Pali- medes or Ajax. Ajax more frequently puzzles you. His silvery gray wings assume all manner of tints in various lights.
 Snakes, do you ask: Yes, many and mighty. So long as you are in the boat you need have no care for them, but when wandering about swamps you may as well keep sharp lookout. You will not find them, however, in cool weather or cloudy days. We saw few. The l colored folk seem to inherit a condensed ! portion of the human enmity to the ser 1 pent. Whenever one sees snake he i | possessed with a desire to exterruinatt him. As we rowed slowly down the river we saw here and there moccasir hanging on branch ill the sunshine, and my boatman always wanted to stop and kill him, and l always consented. - Florida Cor.

Street Boys of New York.

The street boys are Q peculiar class. Dependent entirely upon their own re- sources, and having no references, they live by their wits. Some take to ceiling newspapers, and there are nearly 5000 in that branch of business two-thirds of them being without homes. These boys also work in the markets or black boots in the hours when there are no newspapers to sell, though the latter employment is now almost entirely absorbed by the Italians. The homeless boy is self reliant and generally honest, but sharp by his constant rubbing on the stern side of city life
 Frequently homeless boy makes his mark in the world. One of this class be- came a newsboy, and, being industrious and frugal, saved money enough to start street stand. His business grew and he employed other boys on cars and in the street. Finally he purchased the exclu- siye right for his boys to enter the Third avenue cars. They wore a lettered ribbon in their caps to distinguish them, and at one time this boy, though only IA years Of age, had over fifty boys on his pay roll. Then he contracted for the right to sell newspapers on Q leading trunk railway from Jersey City to Buffalo, but his ca reer was suddenly cut short by his being killed on a train. It was then found that he had some $13, 900 in bank, and he lived long enough to make will and appoint trustees, so that his savings might sup port and educate younger sister This boy died in his 18th year, and had he lived he would undoubtedly have been a very rich man.-Ncw York Star.

Oneer Birds of Yesterilav.

A number of large and interesting birds have become extinct within recent times. Of these the epiornis, of Mada- gascar, was probably the largest. Fossil fragments indicate that this creature was at least twelve feet in height, with a weight five or six times as great as that of the ostrich. Specimens of its eggs have been found and measure nearly thirteen and half inches in largest diameter by nine inches in smallest diameter, with a capacity of nearly eight quarts. The mOa, or dinornis, of New Zealand, was also larger than any bird now living, it's height having been ten or twelve feet Its ''drllmstick' was thirty to thirty-two inches long and its eggs so large that q hat would make a good egg cup for them.
 Tho famous dodo, fifty pound bird of Mauritius, was once well known to the Dutch, but has not been reported as seen during the last 200 years. The solitaire is another exterminated bird of the same island. The great aux, of the North sea, i5 supposed to have become extinct since 1S44. These are few of the latest dis appearances of the bird world; other large species are fast diminishing in num- bers, and soon the Australian emue and Now Zealand apteryx, for example, will have passed away also.

Old English NYeddinrs-

An English wedding in the tin1e of good Queen Bess was a joyous public fes- tival. Among the higher ranks the bride groom presented the company with scarfs, gloves, and garters of the favorite colors of the wedding pair; and the ceremony wound up with banquetings, masques, pageants, and epithalamiums. 4 gay procession formed part of the humber marriages. The bride was led to church between two boys. wearing bride laces and rosemary tied about their sill1en sleeves, and before her was carried sil- yer cup filled with wine. in which was 8 large branch of gilded rosemary, hung about with sil1en ribbons of all colors. Next came the musicians, and then the bridesmaids, some bearing great bride cakes, others garlands of gilded wheat. Thus they marched to church amidst the shouts and benedictions of tho spectators.
